[13] Hadith Thirteen

The Prophet's Description Of The Attributes That Place One In The Shade
of Allah -- Almighty and Exalted

It is narrated from Abu Hurayra - Allah be well-pleased with him: "I heard
Allah's Messenger say: 'Seven shall be those whom Allah grants shade the day
that there shall be no shade except His:

The equitable leader;

A young man who grew up worshipping Allah - Almighty and Exalted;

A man whose heart is attached to the mosques;

Two men who loved one another for Allah's sake, meeting for that reason
and parting for that reason;

A man who was invited by a woman of distinction and beauty but said to her,
"Verily I fear Allah - Almighty and Exalted."

A man who gave in charity but kept it secret so that his left hand did not
know what his right hand expended;

A man who remembered Allah in seclusion, whereupon his eyes wept.'"

Narrated by the Two Shaykhs [Bukhari and Muslim] and others. The Prophet mentioned
in many of his hadiths a vast array of those whom Allah shall place in His shade.
One of the scholars of hadith gathered those narrations in a monograph, and
the reader can look them up there.

Allah's blessings and peace on the Prophet., his Family, and his Companions
